Obituaries 1912-1941 Herold der Wahrheit obituaries 1912 to 1941 Compiled and printed by Jim Yoder Grantsville, MD. Cora Bender 1890-1918 Cover The memorial was composed by Simon J. Miller, husband of Cora Bender. They married October 15, 1915. While living at Simon’s home-place, known as the Jake Miller farm, they had made plans to move to Delaware when Cora died on October 10, 1918. Their farm joined Maple Glen Mennonite church, Grantsville, MD, where Cora and several siblings are buried. Cora was a daughter of Valentine and Caroline (Gingerich) Bender and Simon’s parents were Minister Jacob S. and Anna (Beachy) Miller The Herold der Wahreit was a semi-monthly paper published in the interest of the Amish Mennonite Churches known as the Old Order Amish and the Conservative Amish Mennonites. The first issue was dated January 1, 1912 and the subscription price was 75 cents for one year. The first obituary printed in the Herold der Wahreit was listed in the April 1, 1912 issue, an infant son of Valentine and Caroline Bender. Bender.- An infant son of Valentine and Caroline Bender, died March 6, 1912. He leaves to mourn, father, mother, eight sisters and two brothers.

He was married in 1914 to Mary Gunden, daughter of Joseph and Lydia Gunden, who died August 12, 1916, leaving an infant son, who is now an orphan and is cared for by his grandparents Albright. The subject of this obituary leaves an orphaned son, Maynard, father and mother, 3 brothers and 3 sisters, and many friends to mourn his early death, but not as those who have no hope. He was a consistent member of the Amish Mennonite Church near Pigeon, Michigan. He was interested in church and Sunday school work. When he saw that his end was drawing nigh he said, I am ready; nothing on this earth holds me from my Savior. 12-15-1935 Baechler. – Annie Baechler (nee Roth), a daughter of Noah M. and Mary (Zehr) Roth was born in Waterloo County, Ontario, June 27, 1915; died October 17, 1935; aged 20 years, 3 months, and 20 days. She accepted Christ as her Savior and was baptized by Bishop Daniel S. Jutzi November 20, 1930, remaining a member of the East Zorra A. M. congregation to the end. On September 2, 1934 she was joined in holy wedlock to Arthur Baechler. This union was blessed with one son Delford, who with his father survives to mourn her early departure. They lived in matrimony 1 year, 1 month and 15 days. She also leaves her parents, 3 brothers, 3 sisters, and 4 grandparents. Services at the home by Bro. Menno Kuepfer and at the East Zorra meeting house, near Tavistock, Ontario, by Bros. Moses Roth, Peter Nafziger and D. S. Jutzi. Interment in adjoining cemetery. 2-1-1928 Baer. – Joseph S. Baer was born in Henry County, Ohio, June 18, 1842. Died in Lagrange County, Indiana, January 9, 1928. Aged 85 years, 6 months, 22 days. Surviving him are three sons, Samuel, of Marshall, Michigan; Martin, of Columbus, Ohio, and William of Lagrange County, Indiana; one daughter, Mary, also of Lagrange County, Indiana; two brothers, John and Martin, of Fulton County, Ohio; one sister, Lydia Jenson of Kansas City, Mo. Funeral services were held at the Town Line Church (of which he was a member), January 11, conducted by John J. S. Yoder and Sam T. Eash in German and by Oscar Hostetler in English. 4-1-1937 Bast. – Elizabeth (Boshart) Bast, daughter of the late Jacob and Mariah (Jantzi) Boshart, was born near Baden, Ontario, December 20, 1881; Died February, 19, 1937, at the home at Crosshill, Ontario, at the age of 55 years, 1 month, 29 days. She was united in marriage with Rudy Bast, January 21, 1906. To this union were born 8 children, 3 sons and 5 daughters. One son, Samuel, preceded her in death some years ago. She leaves to mourn her departure her sorrowing husband and the following descendants: Sarah, Mrs. Simon Zehr, Millbank; Rachel, Mrs. Jacob Gerber, Nithburg; Clara, Aaron, Matilda, Lucinda, Herbert, and an adopted daughter, June, at home; also 6 grandchildren. The following sisters and brothers survive: Annie, Mrs. Menno Erb; Mary, Mrs. Simon Lebold; and Barbara, Mrs. Moses Bast; Leah, Mrs. Aaron Jantzi, Wellesley; Rachel, Mrs. Ezra Gascho, New Dundee; Mattie, Mrs. Peter Lather; Fannie, Mrs. Chris Roth; Sarah, Mrs. John Albrecht; and Michael of Crosshill. Her parents died about twelve years ago. She was the first of the sisters and brothers to go. She had been ailing from asthma the past five years from which she suffered greatly at times. She had an attack of flu, and was only sick a few days when she fell asleep in her Savior, whom she accepted in her youth. The funeral was conducted February 22, services at the home by Brother Joseph Gerber, and at the Third Line A. M. Church by Bishop Jacob Lichty and Pre. John Gerber. She was laid to rest in adjoining cemetery. 4-1-1919 Beachy. – Infant son of Norman and Elizabeth Beachy, died March 19, 1919, at the age of 11 days. Interment at the Flag Run cemetery, near Springs, Pa., March 21. 1 11-15-1918 Beachy. – Amanda, daughter of Simon and Sarah Beachy died at the home of her parents near Meyersdale, Penna., November 2, 1918, at the age of 16 years, 8 months and 21 days. Interment on Tuesday, November 5. Funeral semi-private on account of epidemic conditions. The departed leaves grief stricken parents, one brother, parental grandmother and maternal grandparents and maternal great-grandmother and many more distant relatives and many friends to mourn her early departure. The cause of her death was influenza. She united with the Amish Mennonite church in her younger days and we trust the sorrows of those who mourn her departure is far over balanced by the joys and fullness of peace which now is hers. 9-15-1927 Beachy. – Amanda, wife of Pre. Daniel S. Beachy (deceased) died August 16, 1927 at the age of 62 years, 10 months and 4 days. She had not been in good health for a number of years, but did not complain, and seemingly did not realize her condition. She was of a quiet, peaceable unassuming nature, even though she was not capable for the last several years of taking an interest in domestic affairs and duties of life, she was, nevertheless interested and concerned about the spiritual life, and furthermore, her kindness and agreeableness remained with her, even though she failed in other respects. She had a paralytic strock on the night of August 9, after which she gained consciousness at times, sufficently to know those of us who were with her but she could not speak. Only those of like circumstances know what it means to part with mother, but we have the blessed hope and assurance that she is at rest, free from all sorrows and cares. Deceased was a member of the Amish Mennonite church, and a daughter of the late Samuel J. Miller. There were in her family 3 sons and 2 daughters, of which Simon S. Miller and Lucy, wife of Amanda Miller M. M. Beachy are living yet. She was married about 37 years ago, and was the mother of eleven, ten of whom are living in the vicinity of Oakland, Md., and Salisbury, Pa., at which places Mother had been making her home since spring of 1926. One daughter, Salome, is at present at Milford, Delaware. Father died near Norfolk, Va., September 8, 1913, and the oldest daughter Cora, wife of Simon D. Hershberger died February 14. Funeral services were held August 19, at the Niverton meeting house, with burial at the same place. Services were conducted by Alvin Beachy, and C. J. Swartzentruber of Norfolk, Va., the former basing his sermon on Phil. 1:21-23 and Heb. 6:19-20 and the latter using as a basis 2 Cor. 5:1-11. A Daughter. ( Note: Amanda’s childen are, Cora, Norman, Lucy, Samuel, Elizabeth, Joel, Salome, Tillie, Eli, Alvin, and Simon. JLY) 7-1-1926 Beachy. – Anna, wife of Jonas J. Beachy died on Sunday morning June 6, 1926, at daybreak at the Mt. Nebo home on the heights in the Casselman Valley three miles south of Grantsville, Maryland. Mother Beachy was aged 86 years, 4 months and 7 days. Her maiden name was Anna D. Yutzy, and she was born at Pocahontas, Pa., January 29, 1840, and her mother Anna (Brenneman) Yutzy died when she was an infant 9 days old, and she was then brought in the dead of winter to New Germany, Garrett County, Maryland to be adopted by her grandmother Brenneman with whom she lived her girlhood days in a log cabin on what is now the Lewis Warnick farm, which was then bordered by the great pine forests of that region, amidst which also stood the house of Governer Frank Thomas and Minister Jacob Brenneman. Later on, when her grandfather Brenneman died she moved with her grandmother Brenneman and the Brennemans to Bittinger, Md., in “The Forks.” She was united in marriage to Jonas J.

  • Hymnody of Eastern Pennsylvania German Mennonite Communities: Notenbüchlein (Manuscript Songbooks) from 1780 to 1835
    HYMNODY OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN MENNONITE COMMUNITIES: NOTENBÜCHLEIN (MANUSCRIPT SONGBOOKS) FROM 1780 TO 1835 by Suzanne E. Gross Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Maryland in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1994 Advisory Committee: Professor Howard Serwer, Chairman/Advisor Professor Carol Robertson Professor Richard Wexler Professor Laura Youens Professor Hasia Diner ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: HYMNODY OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN MENNONITE COMMUNITIES: NOTENBÜCHLEIN (MANUSCRIPT SONGBOOKS) FROM 1780 TO 1835 Suzanne E. Gross, Doctor of Philosophy, 1994 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Howard Serwer, Professor of Music, Musicology Department, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland As part of an effort to maintain their German culture, the late eighteenth-century Mennonites of Eastern Pennsylvania instituted hymn-singing instruction in the elementary community schoolhouse curriculum. Beginning in 1780 (or perhaps earlier), much of the hymn-tune repertoire, previously an oral tradition, was recorded in musical notation in manuscript songbooks (Notenbüchlein) compiled by local schoolmasters in Mennonite communities north of Philadelphia. The practice of giving manuscript songbooks to diligent singing students continued until 1835 or later. These manuscript songbooks are the only extant clue to the hymn repertoire and performance practice of these Mennonite communities at the turn of the nineteenth century. By identifying the tunes that recur most frequently, one can determine the core repertoire of the Franconia Mennonites at this time, a repertoire that, on balance, is strongly pietistic in nature. Musically, the Notenbüchlein document the shift that occured when these Mennonite communities incorporated written transmission into their oral tradition.

  • The Rise and Development of the Beachy Amish Mennonite Churches
    THE RISE AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE BEACHY AMISH MENNONITE CHURCHES ALVIN J. BEACHY* A. Major Reasons for the 1927 Division The events which led to the division of 1927 in the (Casselman) River, Pennsylvania, Old Order Amish congregation had their origin in the incidents of 1895 and 1896. After the division of 1895 Bishop Moses D. Yoder, leader of the conservative wing, gained the unanimous consent of his congregation to place under the strict ban all who left to join the Maryland or Miller congregation after a certain date. It has already been noted that Yoder was able to persuade his congregation to take this position only because he either deliberately misrepresented the advice received from Bishop Joseph Witmer through correspondence or grossly misunderstood this advice. In support of Bishop M. D. Yoder’s position it should be said that the weight of earlier tradition, both within the state of Pennsylvania and in Somerset County, was on the side of the strict ban for all who left the Amish to unite with any other denomination. This had been the first article in the Discipline of 1809.1 In the Discipline of 1837, which was drawn up at a conference consisting only of the ministers of the Amish congregations within Somerset County, the importance of the strict ban as a means of maintaining a vigorous church also receives first place. The conference noted that decline had set in because of the neglect of God’s ordinance in the ban, and decided that thereafter the ban should be observed without regard of person whether man or woman.2 Apparently the ministers who attended the 1837 conference felt that there had been a tendency to be too lenient when cases arose where women became subjects for the strict ban.

LANCASTER, _H JorrN DAE~t's So~s, PRI:--;TERS. I 8 9 2. Copyright Secured 1892, by SAMUEL M. PEACHEY. GENERAL INTRODUCTION. Family Registers and Geneaologies have been kept from the earliest ages, as may be seen in the Old and New Testaments in 1 Chron. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 ; ·Matthew 1, and Luke 3. Though some persons have conscientious scruples in such matters on account of what Paul says in Titus 3, 9. By a careful consideration of the passage it will be seen why the apostle Paul wrote abo~t "endless genealogies," as he did. (1 Tim. 1, 4.) · The answer might be that by those endless genealogies, it is believed, the apostle means genealogies that were uncertain, that never could be made out, especially such as referred to the Messiah and the priesthood. The Jews had carefully kept their genealogical tables in the archives of the temple till the birth of Christ and the Evangelists had appealed to these genealogical tables to show our Lord's descent from the house of David, as had been pro­ phesied, Matthew taking this genealogy forward and Luke back­ ward. But the unbelieving Jews would not acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah.

  • Singing with the New Order Amish: How Their Current Musical Practices Reflect Their Culture and History
    Singing with the New Order Amish: How Their Current Musical Practices Reflect Their Culture and History A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music by Rebecca Clarkson BM, Howard Payne University May 2008 Committee Chair: Matthew Peattie, PhD Abstract The culture of the New Order Amish is a culture, like that of the more traditional Old Order Amish, in which a heritage of singing is very important. Multiple researchers have investigated the culture and the singing of the Old Order Amish, but very few have examined New Order culture and even fewer have studied their music. The oral transmission of Amish music has also been examined by past researchers, but there has not been research in this area recently. This is significant, as there have been several new sources of transcription of these rarely recorded melodies. This thesis utilizes observation of a New Order community and interviews within this community, as well as the examination of new transcriptions alongside previously researched material. This reveals the role music plays in the life of these New Order Amish and the relationship of their music to their overall culture. This thesis also updates the research of previous researchers, include Rupert Karl Hohmann and Nicholas Temperley, on the oral transmission of traditional Amish melodies. Adding the new sources of transcription confirms many of these earlier researchers findings. The oral transmission of Amish music is of particular importance to researchers of oral transmission because the lifestyle of the Amish provides an environment almost completely free from outside musical influence.
